In Class Assessment Task 22- Children’s Collaborative Learning.
1. REFLECT ON how you would provide learning opportunities for young children to appreciate their peers’ different perspectives when
they are involved in play-based learning situations together. Use the EYLF Learning Outcomes to support you in answering this
question.
Children learn how to: Educators promote this learning by:
be aware of their peers and interested in
participating in play with them
form friendships with a small group of their
peers
interact positively with their peers and
contribute to small-group learning experiences
establish and maintain relationships with
children of different ages, genders, cultures and
capabilities
collaborate in child-initiated projects as they
research, plan, problem solve and engage in
shared decision making
help others by engaging in activities such as
‘setting the table for a meal’
show ‘kindness and compassion towards their
peers’
negotiate ‘roles and relationships in play and
leisure experiences’
spend ‘time with their peers’
2. What strategies would you put in place to support a small group of young children to collaborate?
